CA 2244072

A device (10) for performing an anterior capsulation procedure has an elongate tubular member (12) with an opening (28) formed near the distal end (30) thereof. A cutter (34) is movably disposed within the tubular member (12) and has a blade (64) formed thereon. A vacuum port (36) is in fluid communication with the lumen of the tubular member (12) and cutter (34). An actuator (46) effects movement of the cutter (34) so as to move the blade (64) across the opening (28). The opening (28) is configured to draw in a portion of a capsule when a vacuum is applied to the vacuum port (36) such that the cutter (34) forms a generally circular cut of a predetermined size in the capsule when the actuator (46) is actuated.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif (10) d'intervention sur la capsule antérieure du cristallin. Ce dispositif comporte un élément tubulaire de forme allongée (12) pourvu en son extrémité distale (30) d'un orifice (28). Une lame (64) réalisée à même un bistouri (34) amovible disposé à l'intérieur de l'élément tubulaire (12). Un orifice à dépression (36) est en communication fluide avec la lumière de l'élément tubulaire (12) et du bistouri (34). Un actionneur (46) met en mouvement le bistouri (34) de façon que la lame (64) se déplace en rideau dans l'orifice (28). L'orifice (28) est configuré de façon exercer une traction sur une partie d'une capsule lorsqu'une dépression s'applique par l'orifice à dépression (36) ce qui permet au bistouri (34) de pratiquer, dans la capsule, sous l'effet de l'actionneur (46), une découpe de forme généralement circulaire et d'une taille définie.
